Midland's WR120 Weather Alert Radio and Alarm Clock gives you up-to-the-minute weather, hazards, and civil emergency information. With seven NOAA channels, you'll have reception in up to 93% of the U.S.A.

The NOAA channels can be customized for up to 25 counties for continued access to information in areas of interest. With emergency power backup, you can be assured the monitor will always work. For lengthy use, the WR120 has the option for a continuous backlight. Built-in time and alarm clock, DC power, external antenna, and external alert jacks. Comes with an AC wall adapter. Requires three AA batteries (not included) or DC power adapter (not included). Warranty: 1 year limited. Dimensions: 2"H x 5.13"W x 6.25"D.

Living in a very rural location not near any of the NOAA stations, I am used to moving radios around to various positions in the house to try to get any NOAA reception. Not so with this radio. It receives many of the closest stations clear and static free even without the available remote antenna. Setup is quick and easy, even without the detailed instructions.

I had one arrive with a broken antenna right out of the box. Gander send a replacement immediately-they were great! The second one has a flimsy antenna that I am nervous to move too much for the fear that it may break. The sound quality is clear and very good.
